INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

• According to UNESCO, inclusive education is seen as “a process of addressing and


responding to the diversity of needs of all learners through increasing participation
in learning, cultures and communities, and reducing exclusion from education and from
within education.”
• Inclusive education is when all students, regardless of any challenges they may have,
are placed in age-appropriate general education classes that are in their own
neighborhood schools to receive high-quality instruction, interventions, and supports
that enable them to meet success in the core curriculum (Bui, Quirk, Almazan, & Valenti,
2010; Alquraini & Gut, 2012).
QUESTION: 1. How can teachers effectively create an inclusive learning environment that
supports students with diverse needs and abilities?
2. What are some strategies schools can implement to ensure that students with disabilities or
learning challenges receive equitable access to high-quality education alongside their peers?

What is your idea about mainstreaming?

MAINSTREAMING
• Mainstreaming means putting your child with special education needs in the
general education classroom for some or most of the day.

• Your child may also have some instruction in a special education classroom.

How Mainstreaming Works:

Individualized Education Programs (IEPs): Each student with disabilities has an IEP tailored to their
unique needs, outlining specific goals, accommodations, and support services.

Collaboration: Special education teachers work closely with general education teachers to develop
strategies and interventions that meet the needs of students with disabilities.

Support Services: Students with disabilities may receive additional support, such as assistive technology,
one-on-one assistance, or specialized instruction, to help them succeed in the mainstream classroom.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

• Inclusive education (when practiced well) is very important because:

• All children are able to be part of their community and develop a sense of belonging and
become better prepared for life in the community as children and adults.

• It provides better opportunities for learning.

Question: Why is it important to ensure that all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds, are
included in the learning environment?

RATIONALE

• All children have the right to education and learn together

• Children should not be devalued or discriminated by being excluded

• There are no legitimate reasons for segregation

• Adults with disabilities describing themselves as survivors are demanding an end to segregation

• Segregation teaches children to be fearful, ignorant and breeds prejudice

• Researches show:

- children do better academically and socially in inclusive setting

- inclusion help them develop relationships and prepare them for life in the mainstream

- Only inclusion has the potential to reduce fear and build friendship, respect and understanding

- There is no teaching or care in a segregated school that cannot take place in an ordinary school

QUESTION: WHAT IS SEGREGATED SCHOOLS?


- Given commitment and support, inclusive education demonstrates efficient use of resources
